Looking for a little more creativity and fun at work, Laura Houston transitioned from a career as a TV news producer to join the M-Squared team in Summer 2015.

Laura was born in Atlanta, but raised in Charlotte. She definitely considers Charlotte home, as it is where most of her large, extended family lives. Her career in news took her to Charleston, Atlanta, and then back to Charlotte in 2012.

Her work with our Charlotte clients allows her to tout Charlotte’s growing culinary scene, as well as the city in general. She can’t imagine living anywhere else right now!

Laura’s passion is writing, something her mother instilled in her from a very young age. She was the editor-in-chief of her high school newspaper, and was a manager overseeing student-run newscasts, NewSource 15, at University of Georgia. She graduated cum laude in 2008 and jumped headfirst into her television news career. Now, on her PR adventure, she loves to merge her love of the written word with her love for food, hospitality and entertainment. She is invigorated by the smart, fun team at M-Squared, and in her year at M-Squared has added even more top Charlotte-area chefs to our client list.

In her free time, you can find Laura walking around her favorite Charlotte neighborhoods or sitting at her favorite local restaurants.
